Termite Protection & Prevention

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive amount of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Tregear are advised to seek quality termite protection services.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs.

In Tregear, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and again access the house.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the nest
